Pho Xao

Posted on May 25, 2014

If you follow The Squeaky Robot Instagram, you know it’s mostly just pictures of my dog and of pho xao, fried rice noodles with vegetables and meat. Sometimes doused with soy sauce, sometimes with garlic vinegar and a homemade chili concoction. While I can’t explain this love affair, I happily accept it. The catch is, I like so much lime in my pho xao the hole-in-the-wall I frequent sometimes refuses me limes because “they need them for other customers”. Or something like that.

You should check out my most recent post about the mango farmers in the south of Taiwan that saved me when my scooter engine died in the middle of nowhere, at night, during Chinese New Year:
